A personal-reflection YouTube talk by Misty Tripoli about cultivating self-confidence through inner work and recovering self-worth after long-term eating-disorder behaviors. The speaker attributes current confidence to hours spent in quiet self-inquiry, and discloses a 16-year history of daily self-induced vomiting (bulimia) tied to self-hatred, perfectionism, and feeling unworthy because she didn’t know who she was.

Chapters

When I go deep into myself because I feel confident. I know what that feels like. But where does that come from within me that I can share with you to help you? I feel confident because I've done a lot of inner work. Like, I've spent a lot of hours sitting in quiet and asking myself big questions and, you know, why do I believe this about myself? You know, you guys know my struggle with bulimia. I hated myself. I hated my body. I mean, I made myself throw up every day for 16 years. I literally was killing myself. I didn't care enough about myself. It was more about, you know, trying to be perfect and trying to, you know, have this body or have this whatever, to be acceptable, to be loved. And ultimately also boiled down to that, I didn't feel worthy. And I didn't feel worthy because I didn't know who I was.
